What is a TRTL 30x6 Safe?

0 comments

TRTL-30x6 safes are one of the most secure safes available today. These high-end commercial safes are certified by Underwriters Laboratory to withstand a torch attack and tool attack for 30 minutes on all six sides of the safe.

Underwriters Laboratory is the Gold Standard for Safety

An independent, third-party testing agency, Underwriters Laboratory (UL) was founded in 1894. Their mission is promoting safe living and working environments by establishing dependable product safety ratings.

Each year, the UL Mark can be found on more than 22 billion products. This mark signals the product design has withstood stringent testing requirements — a testament to the UL’S worldwide recognition. 

The first burglary resistance testing was conducted by the UL on a safe in 1923. Today, UL has five commercial burglary ratings. These ratings indicate the safe’s security level (listed from least to most secure):

  • TL-15
  • TL-30
  • TL-30x6
  • TRTL-30x6
  • TRTL-60x6

What Does TRTL-30x6 Stand For?

TR stands for ‘Torch Resistance.’ TL stands for ‘Tool Latency.’ The TRTL-30x6 rating means the safe can withstand an attack with both a torch and tool by UL’s skilled engineers for 30 minutes. In order for the engineers to successfully gain access to the safe, they must either:

  1. Open the Door
  2. Create a 6-inch Square Hole in the Safe’s Door or Body

If the engineers are unable to achieve either of these two goals, the safe is awarded a TRTL-30x6 rating. 

TRTL-30x6 Safe Performance Testing Requirements & Procedures

Prior to testing, UL engineers are given the safe’s blueprints, allowing them to pre-determine any weak points. The engineers also fully dissect the safe prior to testing, giving them further advantage.  

During the testing process ,engineers use a combination of torches, electronic tools, and manual tools to break into the safe. These implements can include: 

  • Torches
  • Common Hand Tools
  • Picking Tools (such as a pick ax)
  • Mechanical or Portable Electronic Tools (such as drills and power saws)
  • Sledgehammers
  • Grinders (such as angle grinders)

IMPORTANT: The time limit for a TRTL-30x6 rated safe is 30 minutes. However, this time can be deceiving. When the test is being conducted, the clock is ONLY running while engineers are actively working on the safe. 

If the engineers pause for any reason (including to change tools, review the blueprints, discuss a new plan of attack, or simply take a water break),  the time stops. In reality, a ‘30 minute test’ can often take several hours (if not all day) to complete. 

How is a TRTL-30X6 Safe Constructed?

Super Treasury safes feature a single-piece body construction, which eliminates pry-points anywhere but the door. Both the door and body are multi-layered structures created from outer and inner steel plates. These structures are further reinforced with steel bars and a monolithic casting of Alchornite — ISM’s patented torch- and drill-resistant composite material. 

Three-way active bolt work is coupled with a double-action locking mechanism. Randomly located glass plate relocking protection is installed on all safes in front of the locks.. 

Each Super Treasury safe comes with two locks:

  • UL Listed Group 1 manipulation proof combination lock (either mechanical or digital)
  • A double bit key lock

Customizing a Super Treasury TRTL-30x6 

ISM’s Super Treasury TRTL-30x6 features adjustable, removable shelving — allowing you to customize your interior to meet your needs. Furthermore, it can include an optional hole for an alarm system to be connected. 

Why Get a TRTL-30x6 Safe?

In a report from the Council on Criminal Justice we see theft and robberies in major cities throughout the United States increased by roughly 20% in the first half of 2022. The losses suffered caused businesses nationwide to shutter their doors. These robberies and losses have continued into 2023 and 2024. 

The 2022 Interpol Global Crime Trend Summary Report revealed the following key takeaways: 

  • Organized crime was among the top ten crime trends most frequently perceived to pose a ‘high’ or ‘very high’ threat by all member countries. 
  • Organized crime groups and criminal networks appear to be as resourceful and resilient as ever, having proven their ability to rapidly adapt and seize new opportunities.

Furthermore, Vanity Fair published an extensive report that looked at the international crime ring which has plagued high-end homes since as early as 2014. It showed billions of losses. 

The Washington Post found that criminals tended to target Asian and Middle Eastern residents when researching the same crime ring. Why? According to investigators, “burglars believe they sometimes keep family wealth in gold and jewelry or have large amounts of money on hand because they may run businesses that rely on cash.”

TRTL-30x6 Safes Protect Against All Break-Ins — from Smash-and-Grab Robberies to Strategically Planned Break-Ins

From smash-and-grab robberies to strategically planned break-ins, crime has been on the rise. The New York Times reported a surge in criminal break-ins. According to Fox 13, in our local Seattle market, there have been several smash-and-grab robberies.

Furthermore, The New York Post revealed that the “Paris home of Louis Vuitton luxury fashion empire heir” was broken into. The resulting losses were millions in “prototype luxury bags.” 

These reports only skim the surface. Many high-end robberies are often not even reported — for a wide variety of reasons. A high-security TRTL-30x6 can play a pivotal role in protecting expensive and priceless assets. 

Who Benefits from a Commercial TRTL-30x6 Safe?
